Belle was just calling out about something

Wish Lib's head wasn't chopped off, that would make a nice pic!

MITS said...

paula eagleholic said...

Speaking of lunch....BBIALW

MITS said...

OUR eagles look like bookends

MITS said...

what a pic at Tesoro....

MITS said...

poof 1 eagle

Costume Lady said...

He had his chance...too late now.

carolinabeachmom said...

oH well, so I missed the lovebirds again somewhat. One lonely eagle left. :(

It sounded like there was some action at the Tesoro nest. Was there any feeding babies?

carolinabeachmom said...

If our eagles are starting to eat in the nest, that must be a good sign that things are warming up a bit. :)

MITS said...

couldn't really tell, Candy, Dad brought in food gave some to Mom, and they both looked down in the nest alot.

MITS said...

that is a very GOOD sign, Candy:)

MITS said...

also, looks like they are defending it at times...

glo said...

Tesoro has a hatch!!! Movie on the FTLOE Blog once its processed and uploaded.

carolinabeachmom said...

Sounds like great news to me MITS. Today has been a very restless day at Tesoro, but then again, all were saying it was like that yesterday too. But parent seems to be up higher in the nest now.

NORMA Tar Heels won!!! Gp Heeeeels!

carolinabeachmom said...

CC! is still stsanding guard duty. Doesn't even look like he has moved a muscle since I left to watch the game. That is one devoted bird.

CC2 is still snuggled down in that nest.

Nothing changed on those two cams.

carolinabeachmom said...

GREAT NEWS GLO Can't wait to see it. YIPEEEEEEE! All kind of had an idea that something was happening.

carolinabeachmom said...

Now we have to get our Liberty and Belle moving towards being parents!

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA! Did you read Glo's blog? Hatching at Tesoro!

Costume Lady said...

I went away and just came back and Belle is still on the nest. May be waiting on a snack.

Costume Lady said...

Gone for now.

paula eagleholic said...

Our nest is MT

wvgal_dana said...

Candy I thought they did. There was even food brought in. ( :

Been sitting here along time just watching it. So awesome....I've been thanking God for the chick. With tears actually and sniffles.

carolinabeachmom said...

MT nest :(

glo said...

It is awesome news indeed. So many rooting for them this year. Celebraitng all around right now. Oh wheres my Kleenex. Saving movie now. BUT takes You Tube a while to process even after its uploaded. Probably an hour or more til it will be online for viewing. But If you love eagles...and my guess is you do....have a Kleenex ..if you are the mushy sort :)

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA I know how you feel. I have been sitting here today feeling sorry for the poor parent who seemed to agitated. I do hope Glo is right and will send us a link to her site when the video is processed. Again I say Yipeeeeeee!

carolinabeachmom said...

Thanks so much Glo for being there for us. I don't know if I can wait an hour or so. I am sooo excited. Another work of God is coming into our world.

paula eagleholic said...

I will be more convinced at Tesoro if I were to see that all repeated....uploading video to youtube...

carolinabeachmom said...

Glo or Dana, do either of you know how many eggs were laid?

MITS said...

our contact at Tesoro, Lynda White is out of the office til the 17th.

carolinabeachmom said...

PAULA You also got video? I'd like to know how you all can get video. I went to the site and found nothing. Maybe I just don't know where to look. Maybe they have a blog that I missed.

MITS said...

Candy unless someone can climb up and look into the nest, there will be no way of knowing til the heads pop up.

paula eagleholic said...

Candy - I taped it from the website as it was occurring...there isn't any video saved on the Tesoro website

paula eagleholic said...

Youtube Video from Tesoro

Tesoro Hatch?

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh ok. Thanks PAULA. I am sooooo glad that you know what you are doing on here. Wished I could be one forth as smart as you are with these nests and cams. Thanks for being there.

MITS said...

THANKS, PAULA:).

carolinabeachmom said...

PAULA Just watched your video and it sure looked like the one parent was feeding something else besides the other parent. Lets hope. Thanks again!

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle up tearing at food at Tesoro

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle eating a few pieces, then is tearing off smaller pieces and looking into nest, but have not seen eagle feeding into nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Back down again...maybe there is an eaglet and it just wasn't hungry yet?

paula eagleholic said...

The oldest eaglet at CC was just flapping it's wings pretty good!

movin said...

Well, I actually got up in the morning hours, but I got sidetracked; so....

GOOD AFTERNOON, ALL EAGLE LOVERS....

JIM

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING/AFTERNOON JIM. It has been a busy day on here in one way or another. I have been peeking in between housecleaning and watching Carolina Basketball playing NC State.

glo said...

Here is my video of the Family Celebration meal
Welcome Baby Tesoro

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA has been keeping her eyes on the Tesoro cam and Paula, too I guess. Paula has a video on you tube that we thing might be the parent bringing in food for a new hatchling. We are hoping, anyway.

movin said...

Yes, Paula, it does appear from your video that the two parents are gathered to gawk at the baby eagle, and the one is feeding small bites of fish to a third mouth (kind of vague this time where the third mouth is) and to the other parent on occasion.

It definitely looks as though they have been successful this season, TG.

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

Do baby eagles generally eat on their first hatched day, or could this possibly hatched yesterday when parent was so anxious in the nest and maybe we have another one in there today!

carolinabeachmom said...

I guess time will tell when we start to see little heads sticking up. :)

MITS said...

FEEDING A CC1

paula eagleholic said...

Candy - Baby eaglets can survive for a day on the remaining yolk that they ingest, so they don't have to feed on their hatch day....but I did the Limuw at the SC nest last year being fed on his first hatch day....so the answer could be either!

Costume Lady said...

FOR THOSE OF YOU ASKING ABOUT BABY TESSA:


http://nancyandbaby.blogspot.com/

paula eagleholic said...

Think CC1 just brought in some fresh fish...

MITS said...

WANDA, have added Baby Tessa's site to my favorites so I can keep up with her progress.

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle up at Tesoro

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle is eating at Tesoro

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle ate about 7-8 bites...them moved food to the right. Was looking in nest and off to the rear left..now back down into nest

MITS said...

2 moose's sitting in the snow...say that 5 times fast:)

carolinabeachmom said...

HELEN I thing you have been staring at the computer for too long today. Maybe an eagle talon from Wanda would help. :):):):)

carolinabeachmom said...

PAULA Thanks again for giving me some more info on the eagles. we'll just have to wait and see.

Butterfly Mama said...

Thank you so much to all of those praying for Tessa. She is struggling to breath, so they are sending her to Brenner's Children Hospital where she can get more specific treatment. She is not stable enough for follow up exams on her eye surgery. The doctors have decided even if she needed more surgery - they couldn't do anything right now.She is a precious gift in God's hands.

carolinabeachmom said...

Maine nest is ready to be inhabited. There is finally no snow on it today. No birds in residence tho.

Mema Jo said...

Very interesting activity here this afternoon. Thanks Paula & Glo for videos of the newest eaglet! Can't wait for our action to start!

Headed out to evening mass..
Heard from the kids in Germany - all is well except it is a weekend & the buses aren't running. They are at the hotel on base - won't process in until Monday. They found the Burger King!!

MITS said...

Yep, eagle talon would work, Candy. Going to watch the football game, maybe fix a bloody mary or have a glass of wine, if I can find any Pinot Grigio around here:)

movin said...

Approx. 1/3 of an eagle at BWO nest.

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle? at BWO

Jo - glad the kids are doing good!

movin said...

I've only looked through part of the comments, so this might be a repeat.

The Hummingbird cam is set up on the new set of eggs and the mama, although it needs to be leveled better.

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Good way to put it Jim :)

Costume Lady said...

I have to laugh at Jo commenting on her family in Germany finding a Burger King; reminds me of Gene & me and Karla when we went to Hawaii. When I saw the prices of food in the restaurants, I nearly had a heart attack. We finally were directed to a Buger King by someone in our hotel who was having the same problem.

Costume Lady said...

BURGER KING!!

Costume Lady said...

Jim, you are so funny...a third of an eagle!!LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Wanda - Now I had to go back and see what you really wrote :) Ha!

paula eagleholic said...

I'm outta here, catch ya on the flip side...

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

EAGLE ALERT, OUR NEST!

wvgal_dana said...

EAGLE IN OUR NEST

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

BOTH NOW!

wvgal_dana said...

Both in our nest

paula eagleholic said...

No eagles now.

paula eagleholic said...

It is snowing on the Seahawks and Packers!

carolinabeachmom said...

Well they didn't stay for very long. I was over reading about little Tessa and missed them again. AND we still haen't heard anything about Sandra?

These two families need a lot of prayers, that is for sure.

carolinabeachmom said...

Have to go watch the football game.BB

wvgal_dana said...

Good game love watching football in the snow.

CC I pop up head lol wants to be fed again ( :

wvgal_dana said...

Shift change at Tesoro

Costume Lady said...

GOOD GAME....I love watching football in the snow too, but not in the rain.

MITS said...

loving this game, especially since Green Bay is winning

carolinabeachmom said...

Green Bay is the winner! Now that's what I call a football game. When I was young, that was how it was played before the domes. I just loved it.

MITS said...

it was a great game....glad they one....who doesn't like Bret Favre????

wvgal_dana said...

Excellent game: weather great, players awesome "the old man brett" not disrespectful. He is old for a quarterback and GOOD!! ( : I love watching him play.

Domes do away with them...that's not football.

MITS said...

a couple of years ago we went to a football game out in Phoenix, it was October and the temp was 105°, would have liked to have had a dome for that one.

carolinabeachmom said...

MITS I can't imagine watching a football game in 105'. That isn't football. It has to be COLD!

MITS said...

Candy, the Arizona Cardinals play in Phoenix, that can't help it:):)

carolinabeachmom said...

Well ladies, I am sitting here watching the woodpecker, the nummer. Pete's Pond and the Pa. cam. I also have our nest up, but think that won't have anymore appearances.

Another football game is coming on tonight yet. Guess I'll fall asleep watching that one.

carolinabeachmom said...

HEY MITS, THEY SHOULD BRING IN SNOW MAKING MACHINES LIKE THEY DO FOR THE SKI SLOPES WHEN NEEDED. :):):):)

carolinabeachmom said...

JUST KIDDING WITH YOU MITS!

MITS said...

Candy that snow would melt in a New York minute...lol! As long as you keep hydrated out there it is no problem, Ilike that there is no humidity

MITS said...

off to watch the other game, pulling for the Jaguars

carolinabeachmom said...

Pete's Pond mt, Pa. woods mt, our nest mt, Blackwater mt. Just the woodpecker zipping his tongue in and out and the hummer flitting out and back to nest.

carolinabeachmom said...

I'm with you MITS. Calling it a night. Hope you all havae a peaceful and restful night. Tomorrow brings a new day with new discoveries. GOOD NIGHT ALL.

MITS said...

Candy, I'm pretty sure that woodpecker is just a re-run....

Costume Lady said...

We were once in the Super Dome in New Orleans and it was so humid, clouds formed. Our Aunt who lived there said it rained once. I guess the got a climat control system after that.
We were rooting for Green Bay, also and I am for Jaguars; don't know about Gene.
Later...

MITS said...

WEATHER FOR PITT MEADOWS, BC Saturday
Rain. High: 46° F. / 8° C. Wind South 8 mph. / 14 km/h. Chance of precipitation 70%. This why I think Woody is a re-run, and the green leaves look out of season, but that is JMHO

Costume Lady said...

Good Night Candy; Rest well.

MITS said...

I like the coach of Jacksonville

Costume Lady said...

You are GOOD Helen! See, this computer is making you very intellegent!

Costume Lady said...

I like the uniforms (helmets) of Jacksonville.
Gene is also rooting for Jaguars.

deb said...

Hi all, what an exciting day with the events at Tesoro. I hope the films of Paula and Glo are the signs of little ones.

I had fun at the zoo. All the animals got a Christmas tree with various treats on them. It was fun to watch the pronghorns and the reindeer destroy their trees. They really liked running their antlers through the branches. Bears got fishsicles and the cats got meatsicles. I hadn't ever gone before and am glad I went, although it was a little cold.

Night all, going to start a big batch of spaghetti. (it has to cook overnight)

MITS said...

good game, good offense....defense, a not so good:)

MITS said...

ok dinner at Deb's house tomorrow

MITS said...

Wanda, I wouldn't go that far:):).

Costume Lady said...

Good Night Deb.(We had a big pot of spaghetti yesterday....My grandfather was from Italy and I grew up on spaghetti)

Costume Lady said...

Helen, when you got it flaunt it!

MITS said...

I don't got it:):):), but I'm looking for it

MITS said...

now I'm hungry.....

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE:)

Costume Lady said...

ANYONE WHO HASN'T WATCHED GLO'S VIDEO OF THE TESORO BABY FEEDING; PLEASE DO, IT IS WORTH YOUR TIME.
It is my opinion that Mom & Dad are, in fact, feeding babies. You can't see them, but the tiny pieces of food that the parents have in their beaks when they put their heads down into the nest is a dead give-away. At one point in the video, Dad feeds Mom so tendely, it makes your heart sing!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, ALL.

LOOK FOR A GOOD SUNDAY.

JIM

Mema Jo said...

Good Night All
I was watching TV movie with hubby & son this evening.
Peaceful sleep and pleasant dreams

Costume Lady said...

EAGLE ALERT...OUR NEST!

Costume Lady said...

LIB & BELLE.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
L & B ARE BOTH CHECKING OUT THE EGG CUP.

Costume Lady said...

LIB JUST LEFT.

Costume Lady said...

NOPE..I SEE HIS FEETSIES.

Costume Lady said...

THE TWO OF THEM AREN'T DOING ANYTHING BUT LOOKING THE NEST OVER. OH, I FORGOT, IT IS SUNDAY...DAY OF REST!

Costume Lady said...

NEITHER ONE IS MOVING....THEY ARE BOTH IN THE SAME PLACE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN...

Costume Lady said...

BELLE JUST TOOK OFF.

Costume Lady said...

LIB IS GONE NOW....SHORT VISIT.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING TO ALL EAGLE WATCHERS OUT THERE. It is rainy and cold here on the Outer Banks this morning. ;( I'm wondering of it is raining on our nest today or will it be snow a little later? Just when we got used to the nice weather!

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Wanda they didn't stay long. Maybe another visit later.
Looks like we will miss the snow and just have rain today.

Did Gene get your leak fixed?

wvgal_dana said...

Morning Candy ( :

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING WANDA!. You can't mean that they were early this morning after being soooo late yesterday. Lucky that you got on early so that we know they visited.

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING TO YOU TOO DANA I missed the eagles and you!

wvgal_dana said...

It wasn't that long Candy. I feel sure it is not at this moment raining at the nest. Looks nice an dry.

wvgal_dana said...

Deer on the deer cam

CC I and II up and Tesoro up

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda calling Wanda you still out there??????????????

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA She probably went to get her coffee. I hope she comes back for you as I have to go to mass a little after 8.

wvgal_dana said...

Parent just flew off and gone a second and either the other parent flew in or the one is back a CC I.

Parent in nest at CC II

OOppps both parents now at CC I. Wonder what is going on there?

Tesoro is busy with chick I do believe. Maybe food will be coming in or is feeding now can't tell.

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA How are your CC1 and 2 sites looking? Mine look all foggy.

wvgal_dana said...

Thanks Candy for responding. I thought I was sniffle ( : all alone.

carolinabeachmom said...

Isn't there still one parent standing guard on the limb overhead at CC1

carolinabeachmom said...

No this morning I jumped up, got dressed, burshed my hair and am already to go. Last week I made my husband late; he is in the choir and has to be early, but I didn't want to get off here. :)

carolinabeachmom said...

While I was typing, it looked as if there was the second parent up and out of sight at CC, as I saw his wings come up as if he was taking off.

wvgal_dana said...

Yes Candy one parent is on that half circle branch. The other either flew up into tree or left.

Going to set up some other cams.

carolinabeachmom said...

I think the deer at Pa. is our deer that has the two deformed legs on the same side. Someone suggested that it might have been hit by a car and survived. It is weird that he is usually all alone and comes early in the am.

wvgal_dana said...

Eagle at BWO

carolinabeachmom said...

DANA Parent's head at Tesoro looks a little bedraggled or wet this morning.

carolinabeachmom said...

Thanks Dana, what a beauty it is!

wvgal_dana said...

I know the one has it I think hind right leg at a place swollen. I don't believe that one was hit by a car. Yet there is another one that really looks badly battered. Humped over legs, and alot messed up about it. That's the one I also think was hit by a car.

wvgal_dana said...

When I brought the cam up at Tesoro is looked like maybe it had rained. Else it was a good fog there this morning and dampened things.

wvgal_dana said...

Turkeys on deer cam

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING DANA & CANDY....
Our visit this morning was uneventful. They flew in, one right after the other, and just sat a looked around for 15 mins. Then Belle left and Lib was right behind her. I watched for A FEW MINUTES FOR THEM TO COME BACK, BUT THEY DIDN'T.

carolinabeachmom said...

Deer are such beautiful animals too, but they can really wreck a car and poor Megan's flower fields,:( and anyone out there that has deer by their property. I just think they are soooo soft and serene and beautiful to watch.

wvgal_dana said...

Wanda did you read my comment about leak?

carolinabeachmom said...

Welcome back WANDA. Poor DANA couldn't find you. I told her you probably went for coffee.

Costume Lady said...

Did either of you go to GLO'S "FOR THE LOVE OF EAGLES" and watch her video of Tesoro Babies. It is beautiful with the music she chose.

carolinabeachmom said...

I am just going to get me a wider monitor so I can fit more pics on the screen! :) I used to take my son over to my mom and dads place in the woods to watch the wild turkeys come to feed in their front yard. Amazing, they even fly into trees.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, I did go for coffee with the Capt. We like to chat on Sunday mornings.

carolinabeachmom said...

Yes, I saw it after Paula's. I just love that song Rais you up on eagles wings. We sing that in church. Paula had a good video also. We have two talented ladies there.

Costume Lady said...

Gene got up earlier than me this morning and his reward was to see three turkeys walking up through the woods. I missed it! :(

wvgal_dana said...

Oh I know you do Wanda that is why I leave at times. Ed and I have little discussions times. Although what I was asking Wanda..Was did Gene get your leak fixed?

Candy do you put your cursor on the sides and tops and bottoms of pics to make smaller. So you can get more cams on screen?

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh well, James is pacing and ready to go to church. I had better get before he is late again. You two keep your running commentary going so I will know what happens when I get back. AND WANDA no long coffee breaks. Poor Dana thought she was left all alone this morning. :)

carolinabeachmom said...

Talk to you later my Eagle Watching friends.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, those two are very talented and we are so lucky to have them. We each have our own contributions to this blog and that is what makes it so interesting and fun.
We have so many photographers on here that keep us up to date on the goings on everywhere. We have Deb, Dave, Bob; Oh no, I better not start naming names or I will forget someone. But you know what I mean.

Costume Lady said...

BYE CANDY...HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY!

Costume Lady said...

DANA, it is 27° here and going up to 46°with light rain showers later. Going down to 33° tonight and some snow showers tomorrow with a high of 40°.I don't think we have any weather worries for now.

deb said...

Good Morning, Eagle in Maine nest.

deb said...

I wasn't sure if that has been announced, but i didn't want to take time to read and have the eagle leave. Looks like he/she is eating.

Costume Lady said...

Oh, the bathroom water leak...Yes, it is fixed and I have bright new fixtures. They were 35 years old and the lime that we have in our water left some pretty bad stains on the outside and a terrible build-up inside. That is what caused the leak. (I think) Gene still has to replace the wall he had to take out. It is in our coat closet, so that is no big problem.

wvgal_dana said...

Good Morning Deb nice seeing you this morning.

Candy have a great day.

Wanda I loved the video of Tesoro. Although it was like watching it a 2nd time. Cause I had actually seen the feeding. Was so excited I couldn't bring myself to pull myself away to call anyone. I was afraid it would make another cam cover the Tesoro cam since I had several up. Great video and yes we have alot of talented people in our blog in many different ways.

Wanda was Gene able to fix your leak??

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING DEB...
Maine Mamma looks like she is enjoying her breakfast. Beautiful site.

wvgal_dana said...

lol Great I thought you didn't want to talk about it lol
Great that he fixed that. The lime in this area is very bad. You always need to clean your water heater. Lime easily takes out the elements in a water heater.

We usually have a water softner when we have brought a house. Here they didn't but we had one put in.
